A 22-year-old man was also arrested alongside the teenager following the pursuit close to the Russells Hall estate yesterday.

The two arrests came as part of a crackdown on drug dealing and vehicle theft in the borough.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "They remain in police custody for questioning."
